Chapter 47. We haven't consummated our marriage yet.

Lu Songyuan was stunned for a moment, then completely relaxed and lay down.

Jing Hui's domineering manner made his heart pound.

"You will ask."

Lu Songyuan chuckled and grabbed Jing Hui's waist with his large hand. "I know you're worried about me."

Jing Hui paused for a moment, then turned to look to the side.

Lu Songyuan pulled Jing Hui down to lie down and said, "Is that right, Azhu? Answer me."

Jing Hui twisted her wrist, freeing herself from Lu Songyuan's grasp, and pinched his chest.

"No, who would feel sorry for a liar?"

Lu Songyuan laughed incessantly, his chest trembling, and Jing Hui on top of him was also trembling.

“Ah Zhu”.

Lu Songyuan pulled Jing Hui close, his legs wrapped around her buttocks, and said, "I like you so much."

Jing Hui chuckled, wrinkled her nose, and said, "This princess is loved by everyone, so naturally everyone likes her."

"right."

Lu Songyuan smiled and echoed Jing Hui, "Our Ah Zhu is loved by everyone, and I love her the most."

"It's so sour."

Jing Hui said with a hint of disdain, "Lu Songyuan, how come I didn't know you could say sweet nothings so smoothly?"

Lu Songyuan raised an eyebrow. "I've never met anyone who could make me say sweet words before, but now that I've met one, I'll naturally say more."

"snort."

After they finished speaking, they quietly embraced and listened to the rain outside the window.

The stench of alcohol emanating from Jing Hui, mixed with her natural fragrance, wafted into Lu Songyuan's nostrils. After only a few breaths, Lu Songyuan's demeanor changed.

Jing Hui sensed it; she was also a little sleepy, so she didn't say anything.

As the sensation became more pronounced, Jing Hui sighed, "Lu Songyuan, why are you here every day...?"

Lu Songyuan repeated the same sentence, "I didn't have anyone I liked before, but now I do..."

"Stop talking!"

With each word he uttered, Jing Hui felt her cheeks burn hotter. She straightened up and covered Lu Songyuan's lips with her hands clasped together.

"You're like a slippery character."

Lu Songyuan reached out and placed his hand over Jing Hui's hand, kissed her palm, and said, "Don't worry about it."

That same phrase again.

The lamp on the table flickered again, and Jing Hui looked down and gazed deeply into Lu Songyuan's eyes.

The two stared at each other for a moment, or perhaps a long time, until the sound of a drop of water from the glazed tile opening startled Jing Hui.

She pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Lu Songyuan, we haven't consummated our marriage yet."

Lu Songyuan paused for a moment, then moved Jing Hui's hand away and said, "Yes."

Jing Hui leaned down and whispered in Lu Songyuan's ear, "Tonight is fine."

Lu Songyuan froze instantly.

Jing Hui smiled; she liked Lu Songyuan's flustered state. She continued to light the fire, saying, "I'm ready."

“Ah Zhu”.

Lu Songyuan practically gritted his teeth as he said, "Do you know what you're saying?"

Jing Hui raised an eyebrow, a hint of provocation in his eyes, and said, "You don't dare? Then forget it, I..."

As she spoke, she got up and walked towards the bed.

But they didn't make it.

He was firmly held down by Lu Songyuan.

The two looked at each other again, and this glance seemed to ignite the fuse of gunpowder, exploding in their minds.

I don't know how our lips touched.

I don't know how the clothes were peeled off.

I don't know how I overcame the unfamiliar sensation.

I don't know how I got in.

I don't know when the table on the bed was thrown heavily to the ground.

I don't know how many times it's been reversed.

I don't know when I went to bed.

Then, without knowing when, they went to the bathing pool in the rear hall.

Who knows who will reignite the flames after the battle in bed subsides?

acid.

pain.

happiness.

Joy.

Until daybreak.

-

The first two times, it was Ayu and Ayan who stood angrily at the entrance of the bedroom, but today it was Lu Qingyue.

Ah Yu was on night duty in the corridor last night. In the latter half of the night, buckets of water were brought into the palace, and the bedding was changed again and again. Naturally, she knew what had happened in the palace.

Although they were worried about Jing Hui, he never did anything he would regret, and the idea of ​​consummating the marriage was a thorn in everyone's side.

Last night went well, which is a good thing.

But Lu Qingyue was away all night and naturally had no idea.

He looked anxious, clearly in a real hurry, and dared not disturb him rashly.

After pacing back and forth a few times, Lu Qingyue stood in front of A Yu, bent down slightly to meet her gaze, and said, "Good sister, what happened last night? Why hasn't the general woken up today?"

Ah Yu snorted, pushed his shoulder back, and said, "What are you saying? Our princess is usually a diligent person. If it weren't for your general, would the princess be like this?"

Yes, yes, yes.

Lu Qingyue has always been a man who can bend and stretch, and he said, "Indeed, how could the princess be wrong?"

"snort."

Ah Yu turned her head away and ignored him.

Lu Qingyue glanced at the tightly closed door and said, "I really have something to discuss with the General today. Could you please go in and take a look, and pass on a message to me?"

Maids may enter the bride's bedchamber, but men from outside the family are not permitted.

Seeing Lu Qingyue covered in sweat, Ayu didn't make things too difficult for him. She just scolded him a few times and subtly pointed out Lu Songyuan's mistakes.

"I'll only take one look."

Ah Yu said softly, "No matter what General Lu does, we must not disturb the princess."

Yes, yes, yes.

Lu Qingyue stepped forward, gently pushed open the door for A Yu, and said, "Please come in."

Ayu glanced at him, then quietly went inside. Standing in front of the inner hall, Ayu listened to the sounds of breathing inside.

This means he hasn't woken up yet.

She had just turned to leave when she saw the door open from the inside.

The one who came to open the door was naturally the princess. Ah Yu was overjoyed, "Princess..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ah Yu froze on the spot upon seeing the tall figure in front of her.

"General Lu?"

Ah Yu's eyes widened in surprise, and she exclaimed, "You stood up?!"

What happened last night? Is their princess a miracle doctor?

"Shut up."

Lu Songyuan's tone was cold and somewhat hoarse.

He glanced back, stepped out of the house, closed the door, and said in a low voice, "Ah Zhu is still asleep. Don't go in until she calls me back."

"ah?"

Ah Yu looked worried and said, "But Princess..."

"She's fine."

Lu Songyuan said, "I'm just too tired. Go and prepare a medicinal bath to promote blood circulation and put it in the back hall."

"yes."

Lu Songyuan's feelings for Jing Hui naturally wouldn't allow Jing Hui to get hurt.

Ah Yu glanced worriedly at the door of the inner hall before turning around and doing as instructed.

After she left, Lu Qingyue immediately came in, turned around, closed the door, and reported directly.

"General, it was Minister Xu Tengyuan who, during the court assembly, wiped out the Lu family in order to seize power from Lord Lu Ting. That's all true. The only thing that's not right is that the arrow that broke through the Lu family's gate, and the arrow that killed... the old lady, were both shot by Xu Tengyuan's son, Xu Yanchen. Xu Yanchen was demoted by the emperor to a harsh and cold place in the south several years ago, and is never allowed to return to the capital or see his family again."

Lu Songyuan frowned, took a sip of tea, and asked, "What crime have you committed?"

"They forcibly broke into the palace of the Imperial Concubine, strangled her, and defiled her body."

Lu Songyuan said, "Go on."

"I suspect that Xu Tengyuan taught the archery skills he once taught Xu Yanchen to the Second Prince in order to remember his son. And the reason he has been trying to win people over and make the Second Prince or the Third Prince ascend the throne is to bring his son back."

Lu Qingyue cleared his throat and said, "Xu Yanchen's archery skills were excellent, but now the Second Prince's archery skills are even better, he can hit the bullseye from a hundred paces. Your leg was injured by his arrow, and that arrow was also found in the Second Prince's palace."

During the Winter Solstice Palace Banquet, Lu Qingyue and Lu Zhouxue ransacked the Second Prince's residence, even digging up the roots of the flowers and plants in the backyard, but they found no trace of the Second Prince using arrows.

When Lu Songyuan saw the Second Prince arrive that day, he was startled to realize that there might be something to be discovered here.

Therefore, last night, despite the heavy rain, Lu Qingyue easily found a large number of bows and arrows in the storeroom of the Second Prince's palace.

"Oh."

Once the facts are established, things become much easier.

Lu Songyuan then relayed the words he had spoken to Jing Hui to Lu Qingyue: "On this trip, I will ensure that he does not return."

Lu Qingyue had been following Lu Songyuan for a long time, sharing his sorrows.

He said angrily, "No one will return! General, what are your plans?"

"Intend?"

Lu Songyuan placed the teacup on the table and said, "This general has no plans."

Lu Qingyue glanced at Lu Songyuan's legs. Was he going to walk into the main hall without any reason and kill Jing Ao?

Just thinking about it makes me excited!

Lu Qingyue said excitedly, "Yes, let's go straight there and kill him!"

Lu Songyuan smiled at him and said, "Sharpen my sword and we'll go tonight."

"good!"

After Lu Qingyue finished speaking, he turned and left.

After taking a few steps, he turned back and said, "By the way, General, the Second Prince's warehouse not only contains bows and arrows, but also several boxes of gunpowder enough to blow up a mountain."

"gunpowder?"

Lu Songyuan was stunned, pondering but unable to come up with a solution; he knew nothing about gunpowder.

Recalling what happened in the deep mountains last time, he wondered what Jing Ao was up to this time, but now that Jing Hui was in this hot spring palace, he would not allow Jing Hui to make any mistakes.

Lu Songyuan thought for a moment and said, "Wet it, mix it with soil, and bury it directly after this is over."

"yes."

After Lu Qingyue left, Lu Songyuan returned to his bedchamber, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked down at Jing Hui.

Last night was their first time. Although Lu Songyuan was self-taught, he was not infallible and made mistakes several times, angering Jing Hui.

Later, when emotions ran high, Jing Hui trembled slightly, and Lu Songyuan instantly and completely understood.

They started finding all sorts of ways to mess with Jing Hui.

Jing Hui went from initially going along with him, to later taking the initiative, and then becoming completely exhausted, having been thoroughly taken advantage of by Lu Songyuan, and finally passing out.

Like a hungry wolf that has just eaten meat, Lu Songyuan kept turning the meat in his mouth over and over again. Even after the night was over, the restlessness in his heart had not subsided.

The moment he touched Jing Hui, he felt like going crazy again.

Lu Songyuan closed his eyes, reached for the medicine bottle beside him, and lifted the blanket to apply the medicine to Jing Hui.

Redness and swelling.

That's overused.

Lu Songyuan frowned, his fingers moving even more lightly.

No matter how gently she tried to wake him, she still managed to wake Jing Hui.

She groggily opened her eyes and saw Lu Songyuan sitting by the bed. She asked, "What time is it? Why are you sitting by the bed?"

Hearing her hoarse voice, Lu Songyuan chuckled, leaned down and kissed her forehead. "It's still early, you can sleep a little longer. I'm going out for a bit, I'll be back later. Wait for me in bed, okay?"

He emphasized the word "bed" especially, but Jing Hui was too sleepy to notice anything amiss.

"Okay, you go."

Jing Hui touched Lu Songyuan's cheek with her warm hand and said, "Go and come back soon."

"good."

After Jing Hui had completely fallen asleep, Lu Songyuan watched her for a long time before getting up and walking outside.

Once revenge is taken, there will be peace.
